was very violent and was accompanied
by. 2 loud roaring noise that was fear
fully alarming.
1t began the work Of destruction in
the southwestern part of the town, de-
stroying two negro cabins. the dwellers
escaping uniniured. Then the roaring
noise, constantly increasing. rushed
madly through the town, destroyed an
old dramatic hall in which negro fes-
tival was in progress, crushing five of
the men to death and seriously injuring
twelve others, one Of whom died to-
day.
Fourteen of tho principal business
houses were Unroofed, and the torrents
of rain pouring IL greatly damaged the
goods. Then passing easterly four
more dwellings in the winds course
were destroyed, but, miraoulously, no
one was injured. says the negroes men
toned. Parts Of the roofs were rolled
up and carried a quarter of a mile or
more. The town to-day presents a
most duapidatsd appearance. Not an
awning is LETT in the town, gaping
holes in the walls, the debris OF thu
roofs and houses scattered over the
streets, with a cold northerrattling the
fragments Of the tin roofs. Storms OF
this kind are very rare in Texas, and
yet rarer in this part OF the state.
The bodies of two more victims of
the cyclone have been found The list
of the dead, IS far as ascertained, il as
follows:
Tom Hardemann. colOred boy.
Jack Wilson, Ruben Garrett, males.
Fanny Evans and Roe Benson, fe-
males, all colored.
A dance was in progress at the time
and fifty or seventy men, women and
children were in the hall. Several
were bruised and some two or three
had leg or arm broken and several
escaped without scratch. To view
the huge mass of timbers and rubbish
it seems miraculous that any could
have escaped unhurt.
